Re: Too Frequently Asked Question of info-cvs mailing list
This may be worth putting into the FAQ (I leave it up to you.):
If you are using xinetd you can use the "passenv" attribute.
"man xinetd.conf" explains this attribute.
FYI, following is my cvspserver file for xinetd. It works great, and I
avoid the $HOME problem.
By putting nothing for "passenv" cvs is started without any env.
I don't think that "inetd" has an equivalent attribute, but I'm not sure.
$ cat xinetd.d/cvspserver

socket_type = stream

This is caused by misfeature in CVS. :pserver: does not have home

that behaviour, if you wish to get rid of that problem once and for

This is misleading -- the user pserver is running on behalf of has a

2) It seems that quite often the order that files are processed is

but on MVS it's:
'T sdir2/sfile2
T Emptydir/sfile1'
I am assuming that the change is due to a different collating sequence
between
ASCII and EBCDIC. My question is, shouldn't LC_COLLATE=C fix this? I
looked in
the opendir/readdir function descriptions on several different UNIX
(UNII?) and
LINUX docs and none mention the order that these files/directories should
be
listed, nor use of LC_COLLATE.
In general, readdir() returns entries in whatever order they are
physically stored in the directory, it does no sorting of any kind.
Correct.
(In the case of basicb-7, for example, I think the
subdirectories should be processed in the order they occur in
CVS/Entries, which should be the order they were added in.)
Nope; CVS does them in alphabetical order (as it seems to do just
about everything except "import"). Tested by creating and "cvs
add"ing subdirectories in non-alphabetical order, hand-editing
CVS/Entries into a different non-alphabetical order, then doing
"cvs tag foo".
But CVS doesn't seem to do locale-based sorting. It uses
strcmp(), which just does a byte-for-byte numeric comparison.
This would explain the reported output; in EBCDIC, lower-case
letters do indeed sort before caps ('a' is 0x81; 'A' is 0xC1). A
quick grep for "sort" in the CVS 1.11 sources turns up at least
three functions that need changing:
history.c:sort_order
modules.c:sort_order
hash.c:fsortcmp
Solaris provides strcoll() and strxfrm() to do locale-based
string comparisons, but I have no idea how standard they are.

Re: CVS on a solaris box with ACLs
Is anybody running a cvs server from a solaris box and attempting to use ACLs? I've done this. Some people around here are insisting that ACLs are necessary, however it appears that they don't interact well with chmod(). Calling chmod() has the affect of masking out the ACLs. In theory, ACLs aren't necessary since you can always define whatever groups you need and place people in those groups. However, the number of groups you wind up with may grow combinatorially while ACLs grow linearly. I've never seen the problem with chmod (although I don't think I've ever looked). IIRC, Solaris 2.5 had problems with ACLs with regards to NFS and setgid directories (new files didn't have the same group as that of the parent directory). I'm thinking of hacking CVS to propogate ACLs from the old archive/,v file to the new one during commits, which seems like it will be straight forward, but wanted to see if there were any existing patches around to do this already, or if anybody had any thoughts on other ways to deal with ACLs. This is exactly what we did. I've posted our script before so check the archives. If you don't find it, ask me and I'll see if I can dig it up. Any suggestions? Other than using loginfo scripts, I don't see any other way to do this (I'm not convinced that CVS should directly support ACLs). Although files can inherit default ACLs from the parent directory, this isn't what you really want since the directories need to be writable and executable by those needing checkin privileges -- you normally don't want archives files to be writable. So, archive files should inherit their parent directories' ACLs except that the write bit should be turned off and the execute bit should be set to what the original archive files' execute bit was.

For the most part, I want CVS to merely act as a data repository for our work, and some of the users are Windows users, and are storing Microsoft's crappy binary formats (*.doc, *.ppt, *.mpp, etc.) within the repository. I've set up cvswrappers to work around those files and store them without munging, but the question has come up several times: What happens if two people edit the same binary file concurrently? To my knowledge CVS won't be able to do a think about it, but perhaps even more importantly, will it flag the overlap? Will it let a user know that they have just tried to commit a binary file that was editied, *and not lose data in either file*? Microsoft has some sort of version/history thing at least within Word. Theoretically, the users can try a manual merge if they have both binaries. My question is just whether CVS would notify them, or silently crunch the data? (I suspect not, since it's so rigorous with text-based files.) And yes, I know that binary-format files are a stupid way to do things. But I have to do this in stages, and just getting people to use version-control is a nice step. Maybe we can move them into non-MS tools later on. Still also haven't found an answer to the WinCVS/SSH bug I posted about last week.
